Established in 1999 by Jonathan Terry, who has been dedicated to the funeral profession since 1985, they have built a solid reputation for delivering personal and excellent service to families throughout Southampton and beyond.

Over the years, Jonathan Terry have continuously reinvested in their business to ensure that they offer the best possible support to their families. In 2008, in response to the growing demand from families on the eastern side of Southampton, they opened their London Road funeral home.

In 2013, they embarked on a journey of redesign and refurbishment of their Peartree Avenue premises, culminating in the completion of the project in 2014.

A significant milestone in their journey came in December 2018 when they acquired 103 Peartree Avenue and launched the White Lily Centre, a bereavement centre offering counselling services to all. The White Lily Centre stands as a symbol of their commitment to supporting families beyond the funeral itself.

In May 2022, their services were further enhanced with the introduction of a new fleet of Mercedes hearses and limousines, ensuring that every aspect of your loved one's final journey is conducted with the utmost care and professionalism.

Behind every successful business is a dedicated team, and at Jonathan Terry Independent Funeral Directors, there is a team of compassionate professionals who truly believe in the importance of their vocation.

    You could not find a better Funeral director than Jonathan Terry. From start of the process to funeral itself his dedicated and caring team helped us. From the lady at reception the lady in the office everyone was so caring towards our needs they go up and beyond just helping us through this very difficult time. On the day of funeral we were told each step what will be happening, the team was excellent. They even turned up with umbrellas as it was raining, the professionalism put us at ease
    Margret who carried out the service provide that extra bit of support when talking about my Aunt Kath, and my dads sister Kath.
    Once the funeral was over, Jonathan Terry involvement does not stop their, they host coffee morning for support they assist you in finding the right amount of help for the empty feeling now Aunt Kath has gone to her final resting place. At Christmas we have the church service and placing a star on the Christmas tree.

    Thank you for supporting us throu ... gh this very difficult time.

    Amazing service from start to finish. This was a complicated situation and there were a lot of delays in setting a date for Mum's funeral. Everyone I had contact with was so professional but showed great empathy. The day itself whilst very sad, could not have gone better due to the professionalism of Jonathan Terry and his staff.
